Sibling Sessions

Don’t miss out on capturing those priceless sibling moments with our complimentary sibling mini-session! 

These special 5-minute mini photo sessions will occur before school hours from 8:00 - 9:00 AM on April 4 and are exclusively for Manhattan Schoolhouse 507 students.

Registration is required to secure your spot!

Good news—siblings who don’t attend this location are welcome to join the fun! (Sorry, no furry siblings this time 🐾.)

Limited sibling session spots are available, so please arrive on time (or even a little early!). These sessions are scheduled back-to-back, and we’re on a tight timeline. If you’re late, we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to accommodate you.

If you can’t make your scheduled session, please cancel as soon as possible so another family can take the spot. Thanks so much for your understanding!

A parent or guardian must be present during the session.

Let’s make some unforgettable memories!

Make-Ups & Retakes

Need a Retake? Let’s Try Again!

Wednesday, April 30

We all have those days—maybe your little one wasn’t feeling their best, had a case of the giggles (or the grumps), or their hair had a mind of its own. No worries! Sign up now.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

Retakes are for individual photos only (no class or sibling photos). Your child’s original photos will be replaced in the proofing gallery, and you won’t be able to access them again. Space is limited, so don’t wait!
